Presentation copy inscribed to Ralph Gibson
DECARAVA, Roy.
The Sound I Saw / Improvisation on a Jazz Theme.
London and New York, Phaidon, 2001.
Despite Roy DeCarava conceiving this series of photographs as a maquette in the early 1960s, it remained unpublished until this edition in 2001. His subject is Harlem, New York and Jazz music. 'This is a book about people, about jazz, and about things. The work between its covers tries to present images for the head and for the heart, and like its subject matter is particular, subjective and individual.'
First edition, inscribed to Ralph Gibson and with his ex libris stamp on p2; 4to (337 x 261 mm, 13¼ x 10¼ in); black-and-white photographs and text by Roy DeCarava, creasing to one corner; black endpapers, black cloth-covered boards, spine and upper side stamped in black and silver, lower in black only, printed dust-jacket, light wear and rubbing, DeCarava's stationery laid in, a very good copy; [200]pp.
The Photobook: A History II, p19.
